Guangdong Museum

Museum which showcases the history of Guangdong, in where you can see art, sculptures, artifacts, boats, architecture and much more. And while I was there they also had a special exhibition on Iranian culture and art. Free entry but you have to apply for the tickets in advance as it can get quite busy. Big museum with many floors - easy to explore and relaxing when taking in all the history and culture. Well spaced out I liked the pottery exhibition the best, found it quite interesting and beautiful to see some of the designs but if I am to be honest I found the museum, as a whole, a but underwhelming. Its good but not quite brilliant. A tad bit boring in places truth be told. Could have emphasized more of the characters and stories behind the history. There are other museums and galleries in Guangdong that I much preferred. Worth a look for sure, but it just didn't float my boat, as they say! (dinosaur and natural history part was closed on the day we were there - which was a pity)

Spent about 3.5 hours here and it was totally worth it — entry is just 10 yuan! If you're a foreigner, make sure to bring your passport or ID to get in. The museum is pretty big, with everything from dinosaur fossils and Bronze Age artifacts to beautiful treasures from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Super easy to get to — just take the subway APM line to Huacheng Dadao Station, Exit B. It's on the same side as K11 Mall and right next to the Guangzhou Library.

The Guangdong Museum is a worthwhile and free stop in Guangzhou. It's a huge space with a fascinating collection spanning from ancient history to recent decades. The English audio guide is helpful, though limited. It would be great to see more English descriptions on the exhibits. Definitely worth the time!

My best friend and I had a great time visiting the museum in Guangzhou. It is free to enter, and you can register through the app. The lighting is very beautiful and the details are very detailed. The exhibition area and the design of the place are very cool. I am very impressed and recommend it.

Another museum. If you a museum enthusiast, you might find this museum huge and a lot to check out? But if you a casual stroller? Meh!! 😑 The Guangdong Museum[2] (Chinese: 广东省博物馆) is a general museum of art, nature, culture and history in Guangzhou. It covers both local art and artifacts from the Guangdong province as well as general Chinese art. There are two separate buildings. The building which housed the original National Sun Yat-sen University became the Lu Xun Memorial Hall and contains an exhibition of objects related to Lu Xun and some other intellectuals who influenced Chinese modernization and indirectly prepared the way for the communist revolution. The newer building to the right was initially built in 1957–1959 and greatly enlarged in 1992. It contains several distinct exhibitions and has notices in English. In the historical exhibition of "Chaozhou wood carving", on display are screens and other objects elaborately carved in wood as well as an explanation of the history and different techniques used in the art.

This megabuilding looks like rectangular box of bricks with black and red in colors. Be prepared with ID document(passport) for free entry at the west gate main entrance. There are 4 floors with some halls are closed to visitors; howver, it needs at least one hour for quick look up with things( inspired myself) . It’s unfortunate that gallery with Guangzhou natural wildlifes and land are under reconstruction. Nonetheless, its rotation exhibition at my visit is” kingdom of iran, land of sun “ , it’s spectacular. Outside, it’s panoramic view of modern urban architecture of Zhujiang new town.

For anyone who likes ceramics, porcelains, the exhibition, "The Extremely Beautiful Colors of China: Glazes on Porcelain" is already well worth the visit. Featuring over 200 pieces of porcelain from the Guangdong Museum's collection. Entrance is free, ensure your passport is with you before going.

I went here on my first day in Guangzhou. The museum is in a good location and the exterior looks very cool. Inside, you get to see the whole history of Guangzhou and the English speaking tour guide i had was very interesting and informative.
